Broads be choosing heavy at professional networking events

[RoGethoes]

Meeting a successful man to potentially make a long term partner out of is actually networking and a business descison for females

So in that sense,it makes sense.

How much do looks and height matter at these things?

Not much status, confidence, and a fresh appearance (looking clean and presentable ) go a long way.

The minimum amount status required is being employed as professional or being about to graduate as a professional.

But there's layers to having status. Like a Doctor, someone with a PhD, Masters, Senior/ Executive titles etc...will attract more women...

With that said, there's more than enough to eat.

Because real talk it's harder for a woman to find a well off / professional / high status man than the inverse. Sure women can get sex, but sex is never end game for women.


Now if you're good looking and average height like me. Well, you eat if even you don't try.

Depends on your city and your field.
ABA and AMA events (corporate law and medicine) are legit networking for a chunk of the people that go, as are a lot of the VC and HF events.
Of course, the Boules and alumni events are a mix between pure unadulterated networking and scoping out for potential successful black mates w/ a good pedigree.

If you’re going to network, it’ll be easy, if you’re going to “meet” other people, it’ll be easy, if you’re going to date, just as easy.
Focus on what your goals are for the events, and you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for.

Honestly I feel like anyone who goes to conferences looking for hookups is hustling wrong. I usually go for networking, but the byproduct of people seeing how ambitious and well versed I am, attracts a shyt ton of attention.

Basically I don't go out my way to seek women, but when I'm just being myself, it draws their attention anyways. Like they'll literally position themselves to be hit on by me or straight up initiate contact. My motto is, I'm cool whether I meet them or I don't. There's no shortage or suitors for me no matter where I go, if I'm being realistic. So whether I meet someone or not, I don't trip....

I'm more focused on what people bring to the table. What really turns me on, is a smart attractive woman, who's about her business. Now that gets me geeked. Way more than the women who are there, just to be there, looking for a "come up". I see those types and treat them accordingly, if they enter my presence on some try to hook up tip. Basically I send feelers out to see how well versed they are on the industry or if they're just attracted to me.

Let's be honest here. There are very few African Americans who have the ability to connect you to something that can make you an additional $25k + per year in a position.

Usual Black Professional = Black Person Who Has a Halfway Decent Job (Probably Paycheck to Paycheck)

So this whole "networking" thing is a little overrated. At best you meet people who are like you who you can connect with and share similar stories, experiences, etc. Think of it like a support group.

People love to meet up and after a few drinks... people def let off some steam... ain't nothing to it.

You in Philly with that mindset?? I see a bunch of people from your city and other cities getting it in on the real estate side.
That alone opens door to a gang of other opportunities $$$$$$$$$$. Go bullshyt at the other events but not at these ones.

The NABJ convention is a goldmine! The NBMBAA up there as well but a little bit more conservative.

NBMBAA is dope--I speak from experience. I hear NABJ has legendary talent though.

Can't leave NSBE out.
